Call 888-843-8326Who Can You Hold Responsible for a Crash in Barclay Downs?
Sometimes, it is easy to tell who caused a crash. Other times, it can be challenging to determine the reason. Drivers may give different accounts of what happened, or more than one driver may have played a role in the crash.
Car accidents in Barclay Downs can happen along busy SouthPark roads, including Sharon Road, Fairview Road, Colony Road, and Barclay Downs Drive. Traffic signals, intersections, and drivers’ actions can all play a role in determining who caused a collision.
Unsafe driving, such as speeding and failure to yield, can all lead to disagreements over who’s at fault. If the crash involved someone driving for work, their employer may also be legally responsible.
How North Carolina’s Contributory Negligence Rule Affects Your Claim
Under this strict rule, if your negligence helped cause the crash, you generally cannot receive damages, even if the other driver was mostly at fault.
There are exceptions to this rule, but insurers may use it to say that you share fault for the crash. CR Legal Team’s auto accident lawyers serving Barclay Downs can review the evidence and challenge claims that you contributed to the accident.
The Evidence That Can Support Your Car Accident Claim
When insurance companies carry out their investigations, they may ask how badly someone was hurt, or whether their injuries resulted from the crash. Evidence from the crash can help answer these questions.
CR Legal Team will review police reports, photographs, statements from witnesses, traffic camera footage, and dash-camera recordings to help determine what happened. In some cases, we may consult accident reconstruction professionals to better understand how the vehicles collided.
Documenting Your Injuries and Treatment
Medical records can help show when an injury was diagnosed, what treatment was needed, and how the person’s condition changed over time.
For example, healthcare records from Atrium Health SouthPark Emergency Department in Charlotte may help show the injuries treated shortly after a crash.

Call 888-843-8326Different Types of Crashes Can Create Different Insurance Issues
The source of compensation is not always as simple as filing a claim against another driver’s insurer. After a review of the accident, CR Legal Team can determine what coverage and parties should be examined based on the type of collision.
This may include rear-end, head-on, intersection, multi-vehicle, hit-and-run, rideshare, and commercial vehicle crashes. Rideshare accident claims involving Uber or Lyft may depend on what the driver was doing through the app at the time. A company vehicle crash may require examining the driver’s employment and applicable business insurance.
When the At-Fault Driver Has Little or No Insurance
If the at-fault driver has no insurance or too little coverage to pay for your losses, CR Legal Team can review your uninsured or underinsured motorist coverage. Under North Carolina law, G.S. § 20-279.21, drivers generally must carry at least $50,000 in bodily injury liability coverage per person.
North Carolina Sets Deadlines for Car Accident Lawsuits
Under G.S. § 1-52, the limitations period that generally applies to a personal injury lawsuit is three years. The facts of a particular claim can affect when the period begins and whether another rule applies.
Wrongful death cases have a shorter deadline. G.S. § 1-53 (4) generally gives the personal representative two years from the person’s death date to bring a wrongful death action.
CR Legal Team can identify the deadline that applies and take legal action within the required period.
